Uncle Julio’s menu also includes Tex-Mex classics such as tacos, enchiladas & tamales all with a selection of sauces made daily. Insider tip: order the tableside guacamole. It’s prepared for you at your table; if you like it spicy kick it up a notch with fresh chopped jalapenos.

Uncle Julio’s has a vast drink selection. Try our fresh margarita of the day, made to order with fresh fruit. If you prefer a frozen drink then the Swirl is definitely the perfect choice. The Swirl is frozen sangria & frozen margarita layered together dating back to 1987.

We made a reservation via open table and we were seated immediately which was great because the place was packed. But the greatness ended there. First, it took forever for a sever to come to our table once she came she told us the tortilla machine was broken so it might take a LITTLE BIT longer for our food to come out. OK fine. 40+ minutes later we got our food but my husband didn't get tortillas and had to wait an extra 10 minutes just to get tortillas for his fajitas...all the while his food was getting cold and I was already done with my dinner by the time he got his tortillas. My daughter asked for water and it never came out. I took my youngest daughter to the bathroom. I have seen truck stops in better condition. No paper towels in one dispenser, water on the floor and toilet paper all around the toilets. It was obvious it had not been checked in quite a while. I came back to the table and we couldn't find our server to get our check. We had to ask A DIFFERENT waiter to get our check and a box. The food was good as usual. But the service was pretty bad and the restaurant was SO HOT. They claimed it was because people kept coming in the doors. That is a totally lame excuse because other restaurants seem to keep it cool with the doors opening. I don't know if I will go back to this Uncle Julio's there are other restaurants in One Loudoun that are better and have better service and air conditioning!

Love food and drinks at Uncle Julio's! We had skinny margaritas which are excellent and can't tell they're "skinny" at all. Ordered the fajitas with shrimp camarones, chicken and steak to share. Plenty of food and it was excellent.

Table was not ready at the time of my reservation. I can live with that. What bothers me the most on this visit was the seating aspect. When it was time to be seated, the seater took off at a quick pace leave my husband and I in the dust. We are both older folks and while I can walk at a somewhat quick pace, my husband cannot as he walks with a cane. Food was fantastic, and the server was wonderful. Noise level was a little too loud for my taste. Made it hard to carry on a conversation.

Glen, thank you!

We had a good meal and good service until. My ding on the service is that the server seemed ready for us to go and did not ask if we wanted anything else. He just brought us the check. Just a nit to pick otherwise it was all good.

My family and I went to Uncle Julio’s for Easter Dinner. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious-best Tex-Mex around, and we were seated as soon as we arrived. I can’t ask for better service or food. We’ll definitely be back soon!

I reserved a table for 6 people on a Saturday night at the Ashburn location. I expected , upon arrival, to wait maybe 5 minutes to be seated. Instead I waited 45 minutes, the same amount of time if i hadn't made a reservation. What's the point of making a reservation if you are still waiting 45 minutes. Disappointed.

Definitely noticed a change in service on this visit tho we still enjoyed ourselves. Our waitress was good but I think they had her working too many tables. Manager came over to ask about my Mother’s gluten sensitivity and suggested she change her enchilada sauce to a white queso to err on the side of caution, then both her and my fathers orders came out all wrong. I don’t think it was the waitresses fault-must have been a miscommunication between the kitchen and Manager. They fixed it, brought out new plates and the waitress apologized but it put a bit of a damper on my bday celebration since they felt guilty for asking their orders to be corrected (but they couldn’t pay $15 for 3 cheese enchiladas when they ordered beef, chicken and cheese and onion!) and we were all done with our dinners by the time their corrected dinners came. Oh well-the salsa is so good that subpar service won’t exactly stop us from going back!

we had a reservation for 6:30, (One Loudoun location) arrived at 6:20 and was seated promptly.....however, it took a while for anyone to service our table. when he finally arrived he (Victor) took our drink orders. they were very busy so yes, it did take a bit for drinks to come. he was very efficient; took our order and got it to us in a sufficient amount of time. this was our second time here; the first time we sat at the bar and was served drinks and our meal in a very short amount of time. the difference we saw with sitting at the bar was we noticed we had more quantity of food than sitting at a table. cant figure that out but i think the next time we go we will opt for the bar as we can get more bang for our buck!! Overall, both times were very enjoyable, the food was on point and the service was as expected considering how busy they were. we will be returning!!

Hi Kathy!
Thank you for spending your time with us...we are so glad you over indulged and enjoyed the food. We think that's a great success! We look forward to serving you again soon.
Take care,
Uncle Julio's

I love the Reston, Fairfax, and Arlington stores, but live near the Loudoun store and really want it to be great, but it has so many shortcomings! I’ve tried this store at least a dozen times and never been satisfied. The chef seems not to follow the standard recipes. The salsa is almost burned numerous times, sort of blackish instead of reddish with charred bits like other stores. My husband and I asked for salsa carne as sauce for our Juanita’s platters and the request was ignored. My husband decided to go ahead and keep his but I requested mine to be returned to fix it. Then, almost 15 minutes later after my husband was finished eating, they finally brought mine. Nothing like going to dinner together and both eating alone! As well, the ground beef recipe was totally different than other stores. It was more boiled than browned and it was very watery/full of dripping juice, so much so that my plate was full of liquid and my enchiladas were soggy. I would love to love this store because I live very close to it, but you are making it really hard. Please fix it!

Server was overwhelmed I think with many tables. Ran out of chips and salsa and asked for refill of both but never got the salsa. My hubby and son drink cups were empty for awhile with no offer of refill. Food was great as always

The sever was fantastic in accommodating a large party. Timing of food was good and making my friend feel special on her birthday was an added bonus. Everyone loved the chocolate piñata dessert. Will definitely return.

Hello Amy,

There is something wrong with this Uncle Julio’s. Service was extremely slow - food was sub par - chicken fajitas were oily and under cooked. Been going to Uncle Julio’s in Bethesda and Reston for over 25 years. This one has a problem.

Hello,
Thank you for your loyalty throughout the years. We greatly appreciate you sharing your feedback and your concerns are being addressed. We look forward to the opportunity to serving you again soon with a much-improved outcome.

Uncle Julio’s is my favorite Mexican restaurant when it comes to chains. Their food is delicious and their chips are addictive. I love how everything is made in house and practically right in front of you. It is on the pricier side but it’s excellent for celebrating and special occasions. We celebrated my birthday here and was sure to get the chocolate piñata which is my fav part. Staff was friendly and pleasant I always have a good time when I come here! I usually choose the fajitas or the chicken fajita quesadilla. Their entire menu is delicious so you can’t really make a bad choice. Worth coming to check out if not to at least celebrate at!
